Some coasters focus on airtime, others focus on sharp turns, some may even focus on giving
you the best view possible, but today I am going to be focusing on the coasters that
rip through their courses providing the strongest forces possible. Today, I won’t be talking
about the coaster itself, but rather it’s elements. Let’s get right to it.
Keep in mind that I have not ridden many roller coasters. Some of these moments may not be
the most intense to you, but I rank it higher because I really haven’t gotten many credits.
Starting it off at number 10, we have… X-Flight’s near misses. It’s not the most forceful
moment aside from the hang time it provides, however this moment is so intense because
of it’s close encounter with the control tower. It really feels like your limbs are
going to be hit by the obstacles as you zoom past. And, the blood rushes to your head as
you are inverted slowly. Up next at number 9, we have… Cheetah Hunt’s
first drop. This is a moment not a lot of people talk about, and it is pretty strong.
The G’s it pulls are insane and it is definitely one of the best drops I have experienced.
There is a near miss at the bottom that really adds to the intensity and it’s always fun
and surprising no matter how many times you ride it.
At the number 8 spot, we have…. Hades 360’s first drop. Like Cheetah Hunt, this drop will
also plunge underground at high speeds. The G’s it pulls is what makes it intense. Also,
I got some strong floater in the middle coming down this drop. Even the second time I rode
it, it was still strong and held up to my expectations. This is not the last element
of Hades 360 you will see on this list. Up next, we have Zippin Pippin’s first drop.
It really is only good in one row, and that row is the back. It yanks you down it violently,
and you don’t land in your seat until the bottom. It is easy to get room on this coaster,
and this moment is one of my favorites with all of that room.
At number 6, we have Hades 360’s underground section. The reason this moment is so intense
is because you take it so fast and it is low to the ground. The pacing is what really makes
it intense. I honestly think the roughness actually adds to it.
Cracking the top 5 is Batman: the Ride’s vertical loops. Like the other elements on
this list, this element really shines in the back. It drags you down viciously whipping
you and pulling strong g’s as you bottom out. This element may not be the tallest,
but it certainly packs a punch. And thankfully there are two of these loops on the ride so
that you can experience it twice. Up next at number 4 is Raging Bull’s first
drop. Not only does this moment pull strong ejector airtime in the back, but it pulls
strong G’s in every row as it pulls you into the underground tunnel. I have always
rode this coaster in the cold, so I expect to be blown away even more in the summertime.
Definitely an underrated coaster and element. Up next at number 3, we have Superman Ultimate
Flight’s pretzel loop. I have only experienced the one at Six Flags Great America. Overall,
I thought this was insanely intense the first time I rode it. And I liked that. But then
I gave it a second ride and honestly thought it was really weak. Maybe it’s because my
expectations were set wrong, but still I will give this ride that I somewhat dislike some
credit. Coming in at number 2 is Goliath’s first
drop. The reason I put this ahead is because I feel that this moment is consistent. No
matter what row you sit in, you feel the G’s. And also, even with high expectations, it
still blows me away even after 6 rides. I still have yet to try it in the back. Once
I do, I expect it to take the number one spot. But until then, coming in at number one is…
Manta’s pretzel loop. I only got to experience this element twice. When I return, I expect
to ride it more. But from those two rides, I can tell you that this moment pulls the
most G’s. The blood rushes to your head and it’s crazy. I 100% prefer this over
Superman Ultimate Flight’s pretzel loop. Tell me in the comments what you guys think
